tony abbott loses the election and should go, page-101

That's why Abbott has done so very well.

To be in this position in what should have been an unwindable election is remarkable.

Howard was a true statesman and Abbott showed he had the nous and qualities to become the same despite the lack of personal popularity.

Rudd though got the flick from his own party and Julia is battling for her political life.

Howard is a Bradman of politics compared to those two.

Gillard's last hope of scoring runs is to survive this screaming LBW appeal from the Australian public.
